I can only imagine the anguish the parents and family of Julian are feeling.

Horrifying photographs taken in the seconds after the attack show a child, believed to be little Julian, lying in the middle of Las Ramblas near the pharmacy, while a woman believed to be his mother lies on her back nearby.A smashed child’s scooter is nearby.A man, identified by the UK Mirror as Birmingham tourist Harry Athwal, is leaning over the child trying to render first aid.“I was stroking his hair and in floods of tears but I stayed with him, I sat there because I was not going to leave this child in the middle of the road,” Mr Athwal told The Mirror.“To me, he looked like my own son. He was my son’s age, seven or eight. I just ran my hands through his hair, it was about comforting him.”

His father, Andrew Cadman, arrived in Barcelona late Saturday afternoon after making the long flight from Sydney.He was met by Australian consular staff at Barcelona airport and driven straight to the Ciutat de la Justicia. According to the Catalan government, the Ciutat de la Justicia is where victims of the Las Ramblas attack are being identified by forensic experts.

I saw the pic but thought it was the 3 year old that was killed, the child didn't seem big enough to be Julian.

But reading the description from the gentleman who stayed with him.....

Authorities have confirmed seven-year-old Sydney boy Julian Cadman was killed in Thursday's terror attack in Barcelona.A desperate search had been underway for the young boy after he went missing following the attack which claimed 13 lives and injured four Australians.The Cadman family released a heartfelt statement overnight paying tribute to their “cheeky” boy.“Julian was a much loved and adored member of our family,” the statement read.“As he was enjoying the sights of Barcelona with his mother, Julian was sadly taken from us.
